In a Wednesday interview with Wolf Blitzer's Situation Room, Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump responded to accusations that his pursuit of President Obama's birth certificate was motivated by race. “Do you know who started the birther movement? Do you know who started it? Do you know who questioned his birth certificate, one of the first? Hillary Clinton. She’s the one that started it. She brought it up years before it was brought up by me," Trump said....

The idea of going after Obama’s otherness dates back to the last presidential election—and to Democrats. … Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist, Mark Penn, recognized this potential vulnerability in Obama and sought to exploit it. … Penn wrote: … “[H]is roots to basic American values and culture are at best limited. I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and his values.”

“[H]is roots to basic American values and culture are at best limited. I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and his values.”

**********************************************

Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.

Obama told us he was born a British Subject.

Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?

Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.

The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.

They are not ineligible. Hillary is a birther moron. I will leave it at that in the interest of peace, love and harmony.

She sure didn’t go after him hard enough. Hillary got skeered. Afraid of being called a waciss.

Well, let us NOT forget that it was Cruz that said Trump supporters were ‘low information’ voters... Got a news flash for Cruz, some of US know the Constitution better than does he.

Mrs. Bill is so confident that she will win every state that he is even willing to cede OK so as not to embarrass Walter F. Mondale. She could cede MN, but that’s impossible to do.

Foreign national parent(s) bequeath foreign citizenship(s).
A natural born citizen is one born here of citizen parents, solely a US citizen and nothing else. No divided loyalties.

Ok, if you really want to know who started it. It was Obama. He is the one who billed himself as a public speaker, born in Kenya. There are pamphlets which have been on this site, in which he is promoted as a Kenyan born Senator (long before he was a US senator he was an Illinois state senator).

Exactly! Obama said himself he was born in Kenya. The BC was said to be a fraud by the many experts that looked at it. I think Britbart died because he put out that blurb that Obama himself wrote. He said he had something really big and then he was gone. I’m sure the daughters know that he was born in Kenya. They probably heard it their whole lives.

IMO the birth certificate was always somewhat of a red herring, albeit still a valid argument against Soetoro. The simple fact that Soetoro is a Socialist makes him constitutionally ineligible to hold elected office in America. Hitlery, the rest of the Dementocrats, and the GOP-e all believe in Socialism as well, which makes them constitutionally ineligible.

If we had someone with legal expertise push through this argument instead of the birth certificate argument, the entire Leftist movement in America would be destroyed overnight. The birth certificate argument would only apply to certain Democrats, and you would have to try them all under separate cases instead of just one.
